by the fuel manufacturers and can be included when
assessing the stability of components.
The KF-F fuel pumps are durable up to a WSD value
of 520 µm, which is the minimum lubricity of MGO and

Remark:

* Working pressure pb = perm. sustained pressure

For certain working conditions, the minimum or maximum
characteristics should not be used.
For example, the max. working pressure is not permissible in
combination with low speed and low viscosity.

In such limit ranges, please consult us.
